In this eloquent plea for compassion and respect for all species, journalist and gardener Nancy Lawson describes why and how to welcome wildlife to our backyards. Through engaging anecdotes and inspired advice, profiles of home gardeners throughout the country, and interviews with scientists and horticulturalists, Lawson applies the broader lessons of ecology to our own outdoor spaces. Detailed chapters address planting for wildlife by choosing native species; providing habitats that shelter baby animals, as well as birds, bees, and butterflies; creating safe zones in the garden; cohabiting with creatures often regarded as pests; letting nature be your garden designer; and encouraging natural processes and evolution in the garden. The Humane Gardener fills a unique niche in describing simple principles for both attracting wildlife and peacefully resolving conflicts with all the creatures that share our world.

In A Way to Garden, Roach imparts decades of garden wisdom on seasonal gardening, ornamental plants, vegetable gardening, design, gardening for wildlife, organic practices, and much more. She also challenges gardeners to think beyond their garden borders and to consider the ways gardening can enrich the world. Brimming with beautiful photographs of Roach’s own garden, A Way to Garden is practical, inspiring, and a must-have for every passionate gardener.

THE AMAZING GARDEN OF BLUE LOTUS Surviving the darkest times of Tibetan history, in the midst of extreme religious persecution, he lived the life of a practitioner whose spiritual realizations were reflected through his actions. Forbearing every hardship and torture with equanimity, he was a physician by virtue who cured hundreds, but with meagre substances that one might refuse ghastly if it were in today’s time. Besides being a Lama that sees beyond time and across dimensions, he was the Vajramaster who trained twentysix classes of Six Union Vajra practitioners, each of whom assumed a greater role in the spread of the dharma than the other. Gyala Pema Namgyal’s life will fascinate any reader by the means he worked for the welfare of countless beings. The Land of Golok was indeed fortunate to have been the womb for this noble master at that turbulent time. As a novice translator, a lazy one at that, I found only joy and a rush of blessings in the mornings as I began the attempt to make his life reachable for the English readers. Because there were no shortages of miracles in the life of this benevolent teacher, I hope he will continue to inspire more lives as much as he did while he lived.
